Born in Oslo, Norway 1986 Natalia Stiris is currently studying a BA in Criticism, Communication and Curation: Art and Design, at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. “I began painting because I felt a necessity to explore, investigate and express what i could not explain with words”, says Natalia. Finding her initial inspiration in ‘literature, surroundings and other artists’, her work has become a visual diary - recording her thoughts and aspirations on a daily basis. “I use a visual language open to interpretation, as I wish to give the viewer an opportunity to explore and continuously discover a new language within the same painting depending on an ever-changing state of mind.”
